GOLFERS WHO GIVE BACK

If there’s a traIt shared by seemingly every do-gooder we’ve come across
in the three years Golf Digest has been celebrating Golfers Who Give Back, it’s
modesty. What Morgan Freeman told us in 2012 about not wanting to pat himself on the back for giving back is a refrain we’ve heard repeatedly. Millions of
golfers give back, whether they think about it or not. Some play in charity events
or act as big brothers. Others run tournaments and the foundations they support. In some way, all of them contribute to the $4 billion a year golf raises for
important causes. “If life’s been good to you,” Freeman says, “you should be
good to life.” Our Golfers Who Give Back 2014 honorees are doing just that. ▶▶▶
